Axel woke to the sensation of a furry thing on his face. In panic, he grabbed it and had nearly flung it far

away when it yelped from the shock. He halted. immediately. The creature was the small dog from the

previous night. The dog scurried to the floor, looking up at Axel and wagging its tail continuously. Then,

after a moment, it suddenly stopped. Axel had walked away to get breakfast. started. Upon returning,

the smell of the room had changed, a weird stench was now in place.

Seeing the puppy at the other end now chewing his inside house sl*ppers, Axel marched towards it.

The moment he stepped forward, he stepped into a pile that had a weird texture. Poop! He let out a

painful groan while standing there. The poop had plastered to the floor, staining his pristine carpet.

“Darn it!” He cursed at the dog furiously. “I’ve had it. Immediately after breakfast, I’m dumping you

somewhere.” He swore, fuming. Immediately, he went into full clean mode, donning a pair of gloves

and a mask. He grabbed and threw the sl*ppers and the stockings into the trash, then threw out the

carpet as well. Then also went ahead spraying disinfectant everywhere in the house. After almost

retching while cleaning the dog’s mess, he finally succeeded. Finally satisfied, he washed his hands

and then tossed everything in the trash. Then he headed to the bathroom immediately. Through all of

this, he had forgotten the bacon he left on the gas. His automatic air fryer and most kitchen equipment

had already been moved. The scent of burning meat wafted to him in the bathroom. Running out with a

towel around his waist, he bumped into and almost stepped on the dog. While avoiding the dog, he slid

and fell right on his butt. With a painful groan, he got up, turning off the already burnt and darkened

food.

He gave an exasperated sigh. That was the last food he has at home. The only thing left in the fridge

was water.

After putting on clothes, he sat on a chair, browsing for restaurants close by, one that had options and a

menu for a dog as well. “Might as well give you a treat for the last time,” he mused to himself. Wearing

casual clothes, Axel headed out. After breakfast at a cafe that could cater to pets as well, they both

headed off to the animal shelter.

“I’m very sorry. But we can’t take any more dogs at this time,” the woman at the front desk pleaded.

“What?! But this is a shelter. Axel sighed in frustration. “Just take the darn dog!” Axel almost yelled.

A woman came out from inside the other room. She was round with a lovely smile, her glasses perched

on her nose. Her clothes, however, were poorly combined. Although neat, they were mismatched. “Is

something the matter?” She asked.

“Listen. This isn’t my dog. I found it outside last night.”

“Yes, it is. Lots of abandoned animals have been abandoned recently. Or he could

have gotten lost. The little baby,” the woman cooed while scratching the puppy’s head.

“Well, this is an animal shelter; I came here to drop this dog off here,” Axel stated. “Where did you find

this darling?” The woman asked, clearly distracted by the puppy.

“Right outside my door,” Axel gritted, losing his patience.

“Did the dog walk up to you?” She questioned.

“Something like that… What does it matter?!” Axel asked.

“Well, that’s how I found all of my six pets. Right outside my front door. It clearly shows this little guy

here liked and trusted you. Dogs sometimes find their owners. The woman smiled widely.

“I don’t want the dog,” Axel emphasized each word through gritted teeth, his annoyance and patience

running thin. The woman was so bubbly and happy. She had six pets?! Axel wondered. Her image fit in

with it; she looked like the typical neighborhood cat lady.

“Let’s see here.” The woman stretched out, holding the dog. It wagged its tail but still kept glancing

back to Axel like a baby looking for its mom. The woman sighed thoughtfully.

“Look. I’ll pay you.” Axel offered, bringing out his wallet. His gold platinum card stuck out as he made

those movements.

“Listen, sir. We have no space right now for an extra dog. If you don’t mind, could you wait for two

weeks? We’ll be able to find a home for this dog immediately.” She offered.

“What?!” Axel asked, fuming. “Just have someone take him right now.”

“We can’t just give this to just anyb*dy.”

“Oh, please how hard could it be?” Axel asked.

“What if they’re abusive? We’ve gotten dogs here in serious situations. That dog over there suffered

trauma from its previous owners; he was used as a stone throw target. The other one there; the woman

said, pointing. “Was hurled outside in the snow. These dogs have gone through several horrifying

things in the hands of humans. There’re so many of them here like that. This puppy needs a home, one

we have to carefully search for.” The woman stated firmly.

Axel had a complex look on his face as he stared at the puppy. Although it was annoying, the thought

of the dog being abused and kicked around or starved. didn’t sit well with him. Some dogs there just sat

quietly, their eyes hollowed and sad. It dawned on him; animals suffer trauma and abuses too. He gave

a long sigh. “I’m extremely busy and rarely at home. Even on most weekends, you said it yourself, this

dog needs a home. I don’t have that. All I have is a building and my

work.”

“That will have to do for now. At least until we find someone who really needs a puppy,” the woman

said hopefully. “In the meantime, you’ll need to get a collar, for when you go out in walks, some pillows

or blankets for him to sleep on. And shop for some dog food. He doesn’t need much. Just your time

and attention.” As the woman spoke, she was leading

him outside of the shelter and back to his car with the dog in his arms. “I don’t have time,” Axel said

with a sigh. “You’ll do just fine. You’ll see. The woman encouraged. “I’ll get back to you when we’ve

found a home for him.” She assured. Axel deposited the dog in the back of the car then brought out his

contact card passing it to the woman. “Have you thought of a name yet?” She asked.

“No. I won’t be having it for long anyway.” With that, he got into his car and drove off. The woman stood

there with a satisfied look on her face. “Miss Cherry. Why did you ask me to tell him we couldn’t

accommodate more pets. Surely we could have taken that one. Her assistant inquired.

“We’ll save that spot for dogs that need rescuing. I could tell that little puppy is in safe hands. The dog

chose him himself,” she said chuckling lightly. “He seems cold. and aloof, but that’s a man who needs

something to channel his attention and love. He’s rich but empty, in need of company. They need each

other those two. We just need to give him time to see it. Still, we’ll find a well–fitting home for the

puppy. Hopefully, we won’t be needing it.” The woman added with a sigh. Driving off, Axel kept glancing

at the mirror towards the backseat. The dog had settled into the blanket and was now sleeping

peacefully. At the shelter, it had seemed anxious, almost frightened, as if it could tell it was about to be

dumped off there.

“A dog, I don’t have time in my life for a pet, Axel mused to himself. The thought of going to another

shelter crossed his mind, but after checking the address and discovering it was a two–hour drive, he

gave up. No wonder the animal shelter here was overfilled. He made a mental note to stop by a pet

store to get whatever would be necessary for the dog.

Still, a small part of him was relieved. His strict and rigorously structured lifestyle, accustomed to for

years, had now changed suddenly. The dog had somehow brought in a strange twist, sparking

something within him he never knew existed, much like that woman at the Exhibition had. Concern,

care, pity those emotions used to be strange to him. His thoughts were interrupted by the vibrating of

his phone.

“Yes,” he answered calmly. The voice at the other end informed him that his apartment was now

completely set, and everything had been moved in. All that was left was for him to check everything

out. Changing course, he headed straight to the heart of the city where his new apartment was. Dog in

arm, he made his way through the elevator. Outside his apartment, he inserted his key code, the door

beeped, and then opened, giving him access.

The sight he was greeted with, however, made him question his sanity. A b*dy.

outline lay on his sofa. Eyebrows raised in question, he stealthily made his way to the intruding figure,

ready to rouse him in. His thoughts went to one of the laborers; they might have worked and fallen

asleep there. As he got closer, the b*dy frame became clearer. The outline of a woman? He studied her

quietly, irritation tilling his entire being. He grabbed his phone ready to call the building security; in that

moment, the lady tossed in her sleep. Her long hair was tousled to the other side of her face, revealing

a small captivating face with delicate features. Axel froze. She was familiar, so familiar. The lady from

the exhibition. He nearly laughed out loud. Since that morning, his thoughts had been trailing off

towards her, and now it was so bad that he had summoned her in his mind. Calmly he took off his

glasses, expecting the illusion in front of him to vanish. Just then she groaned softly, the sound

reverberated through the quiet house. The woman he’d seen the previous night was right in his new

apartment!
